Hello friens, I own an A-5 with a flatline barrel, and I want to improve itīs development, How good you think a Low presure kit is?

does it worth it?

And does the low presure means that I would get less speed in my balls or that only afects the mechanics on my marker?

does it mater the style i do play or is a good upgrade in all the cases?

I think I know the answer but, if It is so Good why Tippmann did not include it in the a-5 as a standart?

Thank you

yes your style of play does matter, but i think LP is a good upgrade for hardcore players, not the average weekender. it's kind of a pricey investment i think the $$$ would be better spent on other upgrades. what ups do you currently have on your gun?

The low pressure kit doesn't seem to do that much, it just makes the operating pressure of your gun lower compared to what it is now, and makes your gun more consistant, it is not really worth the $120 in my opinion. 

I'm just assuming that Tippmann doesn't make any of their parts standard, just so you will waste hundreds upon hundreds of dollars on upgrades for your gun, so you can get it "custom" even though it'll most likely be like the rest of the people that did the same thing.  Or also so you can get your gun to your own preference. 

You should just stick with what you have now by the looks of it, maybe get 1 or 2 different upgrades.

Sorry, I did not realize about I named the topic "hello", It is all rigth now.

So, you think the LPK does not worth it.

I do not have any UPS on my A-5, what other upgrade do you recomend that realy worth it, I mean I go to play on wekends only, nothing serious, just to have fun, but you know everybody there has this or that and every sunday have something else for their markers, and I Would like to improve mine but with something to  realy increse performance.

All the guys are between 28 and 35 and most of them can buy new stuff every payday, I can do it but I donīt like to waste my money.

Start out by getting a new barrel. The stock on on the A-5 isn't the best. I suggest a CP, Lapco Bigshot, or J&J ceramic.

When they asked about UPS, that means UPgradeS. The Flatline is not stock, that is an upgrade. You're probably using CO2 still, so either an expansion chamber or Palmer Stabilizer would outweigh the need for an LPK. A firepower upgrade would be next- either an R/T (not tourney legal, may not be field legal) or E-grip.

Heres what I would get... Palmers Stabalizer-it will increase the cocnsistency of your gun a lot. Then maybe an E-grip and a JCS duel trigger-this will make your A-5 rip!

expansion chamber or palmers stabalizer, E-grip or R/T, an electric hopper of some sort if you don't already have one
